The effect of oxygen content during sputtering on the leakage mechanism and the ferroelectric properties of BiFeO 3 with a sintering aid of CuO (CuO‐BFO) was investigated, where all thin films with (100) orientation were grown on SrRuO 3 /LaAlO 3 (100) substrates by radio frequency sputtering with an oxygen content of 0–40%. The ferroelectric properties in CuO‐BFO are tailored by changing the oxygen content during sputtering, indicating a small growth window. The Schottky emission dominates the leakage behavior regardless of oxygen content. The thin film with an oxygen content of ∼20% during sputtering has a higher remanent polarization of 2 P r ∼ 184.7 μC/cm 2 , due to its lower leakage current density and an improved phase purity.
